Having Guests for the Holidays?

 

Adding just the right touches to your guest room can help overnight visitors savor their stay with you from Just Right Blinds & Shutters.

Sometimes a guest room can seem cold and sterile or just an afterthought space you use to store unwanted items and old furniture. The holidays are coming soon. That means guests may be coming to stay – and you can make their stay much more enjoyable with just a few touches.

An engaging guest room doesn’t have to do with the size of the room or the cost of the furnishings, but with the details you pay close attention to. Think about the amenities you like when you stay in a nice hotel, and make those available to your guests!

• Make the room luxurious with a high-quality mattress and good linens.

• Have several blankets or throws available, so guests can adjust to their own comfort level.

• Provide pillows in a couple of firmness levels and various stuffing materials.

• Arrange side tables or nightstands on both sides of the bed, with lamps that have effective lighting for reading.

• Purchase window treatments that block out the morning light and provide privacy.

If there’s space, arrange a sitting area with a small table, a comfortable chair or two, and good lighting. Also think about where people can put their suitcases – maybe you can add a bench at the foot of the bed or a folding luggage rack.

Clean your junk out the closet too, so there’s at least a small amount of space for people to hang their clothes and store their shoes out of site. Also have at least one small bureau with a drawer or two available for guests to put away their t-shirts and socks. And if you’re remodeling or adding on a guest room, make sure you include plenty of plugs for recharging portable devices.

Enhance your guest room this fall to be ready for your holiday visitors. But don’t make your guest room too comfortable – or your visitors may never leave!

CREATE A FESTIVE AND WELCOMING HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS WITH HUNTER DOUGLAS

 ~ Tips From Just Right Blinds & Shutters for The Holiday Season ~   

This goal to spend less time on lengthy to-do lists and more time enjoying

precious moments spent with family and friends, all while doing so in your ideal holiday home.

“Just in time for the holidays, Just Right Blinds & Shutters and Hunter Douglas make

Take advantage of this savings celebration with the following tip to seamlessly create a bright and welcoming home for family members and friends of every age to enjoy.

 

1.      Mix and Match Without Disorganization

When picking out your favorite holiday décor items, use color as a focal point for your design. Varying items in other elements like size, style and texture while still maintaining a cohesive color scheme will simplify decorating without the risk of being boring. Whether red and gold or blue and silver, incorporate the palette into all décor aspects such as floral arrangements, window dressings, lights, ornaments and wreaths. For a fun way to maintain your theme’s fluidity throughout all the rooms in your home, opt for mini versions of larger decorations, like wreaths and trees, for bedrooms, powder rooms and end tables.

Upgrading the front of your house will help your home make the best first impression.

 

Most people think of curb appeal as something to focus on only when you’re getting ready to sell your home. That’s not true. Curb appeal is important all the time – to get your family and friends in the best possible mood when they visit you at home.

It’s not as simple as you think. Just like the first impressions we make as people, there are lots of aspects to a good first impression for a house. It’s all about giving the front of your house a personality.

The color of your front door can make a statement. Think beautifully rich painted doors in Indian red or emerald green – or even black or soft dove gray. If your door is wood grain, think carefully about what stain looks best with the paint, brick or stone colors around it, and also focus on durability.

The windows in your door or surrounding your door can also make a difference. Consider stained glass, etched glass, clear glass or frosted glass. Then make it a priority to keep the windows clean!

Then there’s the question of landscaping. Some entrances have lots of surrounding garden area that can frame a door beautifully. In other cases, a selection of potted plants can add drama. Use your landscaping to accent the good features of your house and hide or disguise any negative features.

Other areas to consider include:

The hardware on your front door

The paint trim around your front door and windows

The surface and shape of the front walk or steps

The driveway and garage door

Fences, gates or hedges to provide privacy and exclusivity

Think about the impression your house makes from the street and as visitors walk to your front door; then make plans to enhance your curb appeal!

How to Buy Faux Wood Blinds

Homeowners purchase window blinds to provide privacy or to control undesirable glare from the sun.  As the innovator in home window treatments, Hunter Douglas has transformed the basic window blind into an exciting selection of styles, colors and features that will enhance your home’s décor.  

 

Today’s faux wood blinds by Hunter Douglas are anything but ordinary.  A popular alternative to wood blinds is the Everwood collection, a faux wood blind constructed from PVC free material which is GREENGUARD indoor air quality certified meaning there is no off gassing.  They are sun - proof to resist fading, yellowing, warping or discoloring from the sun.  They are also heat resistant to withstand higher temperatures and maintain their shape better than other brands.  The Everwood Collection is guaranteed against fading, yellowing, warping or bowing – or they will be replaced at no charge by Hunter Douglas.

Wood blinds are a versatile element in window treatments. Not only do they provide optimum light control, but they can be used with other window treatments, such as drapes. Custom blinds should not be made from pressed wood.

Consider the options available. Custom Faux wood blinds offer a greater variety of color. Other options include decorative tapes, choice of valance profile and cordless blinds. Cordless blinds are raised and lowered by pushing up or pulling down the bottom rail.

For inside mounts, the manufacturer will make the width of the blind shorter than your measurement. This allows room for the brackets for installation of the blind. There may be approximately a gap to each side of the blind after installation on an inside mount.
